Función renal e hiperplasia prostática benigna en los pacientes atendidos en el hospital general HOSNAG de Guayaquil en el periodo del 2015 - 2020.

Abstract

Benign prostatic hyperplasia is a disease that affects men over 40 years of age, causing anatomical changes that can lead to impaired kidney function and even reach chronic kidney failure. Objective: To identify the relationship between renal function and benign prostatic hyperplasia in patients treated at the General Hospital, HOSNAG of Guayaquil in the period 2015-2020. Materials and methods: It is a cross-sectional, observational, retrospective, randomized and analysis, carried out at the HOSNAG General Hospital of Guayaquil in the period from 2015 to 2020. Results: The sample made up of 277 medical records of men with a mean age of 65 years. In the classification of the glomerular filtration rate, the predominant disorder was a slight decrease in it in 44.4% of the patients, followed by 33.6% of patients where the glomerular filtration rate was within normal parameters, in a 22% of patients start a moderate decrease in the glomerular filtration rate. Relating the degree of benign prostatic hyperplasia to renal function, patients with grade 2 prostatic hyperplasia were the most representative group, where 23.82% of patients had a slight decrease in glomerular filtration, followed by 14.80 % of patients with normal glomerular filtration, finally, in the group of patients with grade 3 benign prostatic hyperplasia, 14.07% of patients with moderate decrease in glomerular filtration were found. Conclusion: It is established that there is a relationship between renal function and benign prostatic hyperplasia with a p value (<0.05). Population with grade 3 prostatic hyperplasia there is a greater decrease in renal function.
